Orchestra

Bugles don't have valves, and as such can only play in one key. This makes them unlikely to play in an orchestra. ITs only when a piece requires a specific tone (the bugle has a different tone to that of the cornet, trumpet and flugle horn)

Carla Maffioletti no longer tours with Andre Rieu 2006 was her last full year and she is currently pursuing a solo career. She currently plays the guitar with the Mandolin and Guitar group "The Strings" based in Holland. In addition, she performs with the "Plantin-Scala" as a colortura soprano.

Over the past couple hundred years, the orchestra added more winds and brass. As such, more strings were needed for everything to be in balance.

Woodwind, because it would have originally been made of wood. Unfortunately, the recorder would never be featured in a concert orchestra.

The four main parts of an orchestra are strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The string section typically includes instruments like violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Woodwinds consist of instruments such as flutes, clarinets, oboes, and bassoons. The brass section features trumpets, trombones, tubas, and French horns, while percussion includes instruments like drums, cymbals, and xylophones.

# Strings # Woodwinds # Brass # Percussion

A full symphony generally has 30 violins.

A full-size orchestra consists of about one hundred musicians, who play instruments in the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections. There are also chamber orchestras, which are smaller and consist of fifty musicians or fewer.

He or she is named the Concert Master.

Do you mean the conductor?

The Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass all have "A" strings, so picking the note "A" as the tuning note allows all of the string instruments in the orchestra to have a common reference point. The violin and bass do not have a "C" string.

The orchestral instruments that use both the bass and tenor clefs are the cello and the bass. These instuments also use the treble clef.

The percussion section of an orchestra is usually located the farthest away from the conductor. This section includes triangle, bass drum, timpani, snare drum, drum set, crash symbols, etc.

One exception is the piano, which is a percussion instrument, but which when included in the score is played at a position closer to the conductor.

A piano usually isn't one of the instruments included in the typical layout of a symphony orchestra. However, if a piano is used say, as a solo instrument (e.g. for a piano concerto), an upright grand would be the usual choice.

A small orchestra typically has woodwinds in pairs, medium or normal orchestra has them in threes, and a larger orchestras has woodwinds in fours. This means: 2 bassoons or; 2 bassoons and 1 doubler (bassoon and contrabassoon) or; 3 bassoons and 1 doubler. This often varies, and composers sometimes purposely organize the orchestra unbalanced. 2-3 bassoons is often what you'll find, a professional orchestra usually has a standard of 3 with the option of having 5 (2 more).

A conductor can make sure that everyone plays at the same beat.

The conductor is usually a learned scholar of certain composers works and will offer his ideas and interpretations to the members of the orchestra during rehearsals on what he thinks the composer intended the piece to sound like. Besides keeping time, there is also the matter of phrasing, tempo changes, and dynamic changes.

The Xylophone is a member of the Percussion family. It will generally reside inline with the other percussionists in the outer row of musicians.

There are four instruments in an orchestra, violins, violas, cellos, and basses and they decrease in pitch respectivly. There are however, five sections. Violin I, violin II, viola, cello, and bass. There are some special pieces however that split other instruments into two sections.

Of course! You'd be surprised, actually, by just how many people play in a symphony orchestra.

A baton, if you mean the stick that the conductor uses to direct the orchestra.

Many conductors also use just their hands. Notable examples include Valery Gergiev, Pierre Boulez, and Igor Stravinsky.

The piccolo is part of the woodwind section
